Trouble starting MySQL

[msadv]

Our server went down due to a power outage. After it restarted, MySQL won'
t restart...

Here's the error you get.

[root bin]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root bin]# ./safe_mysqld
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
040608 09:59:32 mysqld ended

It seems like it's starting up, but just ends. Any Help??

Did you ever find the answer to this problem? I'm having the same exact one and can't figure it out!

I had this problem a long time ago, and don't remember exactly how to solve it, but it has to do with ownership and permissions - suggest you try the mysql mailing list from

http://www.mysql.com

as it comes up every so often. Sorry not to be of more help.
